Dental Implants- Aftercare

The best way to replace missing teeth is dental implants or teeth implants. A tooth implant is one of 3 ways to replace teeth.

Things to consider before having dental implants.
Do you have enough decent jaw bone- if not bone can be added.
Are you a smoker- smoking delays healing.
Are you in good health- certain medical conditions may have issues with implants healing or bleeding disorders.

The Procedure: The dentist will place the dental implants into the jaw bone usually with a local anaesthetic; the procedure lasts about one hour.

Aftercare: Usually the implant takes about 3-6 months to heal. During this time you can have a temporary replacement tooth. It is important to have good oral hygiene. Directly after the procedure you have some soreness but this will go away very quickly.

Temporary teeth: The dentist will usually make you a temporary tooth to close the gap while the implant is healing.

Final restoration: Once healed, your dentist will place a dental crown or bridge or denture on the implant to give you your new tooth. A very simple procedure that usually takes 2 visits.

Success rates: Teeth implants are over 90% successful and are probably the best option for most people.
